We feel that San Diego is such a great place to visit, but an even better place to live. Graduate students in our department work hard and play hard. San Diego and the surrounding areas are abound with recreational opportunities. Whether you enjoy surfing, the arts, snowboarding, or hiking, San Diego has it all. Even though there is so much to do here, our graduate students love to travel. This page gives you a look of graduate life here in San Diego and some of the adventures our students take.
Stay Classy San Diego!
